Lillie's Lookout was built for the owners' granddaughter to come from Australia and live in for a year. You'll love the full kitchen and small bathroom. Despite being only 30 meters square there's plenty of living space for two and you'll have an outside area with seating and barbecue.
Lillie's offers simple comfortable accommodation. When I first walked in I was immediately excited and wanted to stay.
Apart from looking great, its biggest draw is the location. No Go By is too small to be called a hamlet; just outside of Botallack. It's off the beaten track, yet you can walk to the cliffs in minutes. The centre of bustling little St Just with its pubs and cafes is a ten-minute walk, and the Queen's Arms in Botallack is even closer. The wild moors of Carnyorth Common are just behind the cabin.
LIVING
One room living is surprisingly sociable and compelling. You can chat while you cook, share plans and stories while one of you lounges in the bath, or both crash out on the sofa.
The full-sized kitchen is well equipped, there's plenty of dining space at the table, or the breakfast bar, and the sofa is big enough to sit apart on, or snuggle up.
SLEEPING
The bed deck has a double bed, and a great mattress that you'll love after a day in the fresh air of the far west.
BATHING
The small but ample bath is a comfortable place to soak away and the shower over the bath with constant hot water is perfect after a day on the beach or walking the cliffs.
OUTSIDE
Lillie's Lookout has been built in the corner of the owner's vast garden, they've even fenced it off so that you have your own private garden to sit out in, barbecue, or to just enjoy the far-reaching views. As I sit here in the garden writing today, I can see the Scilly Isles 30 miles away and Poldark's Wheal Leisure (actually Wheal Owles) down the road. And even better - no one can see me!

“An amazing little stay. Highly recommend. Stayed whilst climbing for a few days and it was great to come back to a warm cosy cabin.”
Jamie – March 2025
“Myself and my dog Poppy had the perfect quiet stay over New Year at Lillie's Lookout. It's the ideal place to get away from it all but with everything you need for your stay and within walking distance to the coast path and stunning local historic mining sites. There are also stunning beaches nearby. The cabin is very well equipped, cosy and comfortable, there wasn't anything they hadn't thought of. The owners had also left us some welcome gifts and bowls, towels and poo bags for the dog. I'd highly recommend a stay here and look forward to returning.”
